Malibu Apartments – Perth

Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Malibu Apartments – Perth, you immediately get that “this isn’t your typical hotel” feeling — and I mean that in the best way possible. The four-star property sits on Cleaver Street in West Perth, and honestly, the name makes perfect sense once you see the spacious apartment-style setup. There’s something refreshingly unpretentious about the place that puts you at ease right away. You know what really struck me? The staff genuinely seemed to remember returning guests, which explains why this place has such a loyal following.

Location & Neighborhood

West Perth is one of those areas that locals love but tourists sometimes overlook — which actually works in your favor here. You’re close enough to the CBD that you can walk there in about 15 minutes, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and noise. The couples who stay here absolutely rave about the location (they rate it 9.0, which is pretty impressive), and I can see why. Kings Park is practically on your doorstep, and if you’re into morning runs or evening strolls, you’ll appreciate having one of the world’s largest inner-city parks so close. Plus, there’s free private parking on site, which anyone who’s tried to park in Perth city center will tell you is worth its weight in gold.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t hotel rooms — they’re proper apartments with full kitchens, separate living areas, and enough space to actually unpack your suitcase. I mean, after staying in cramped hotel rooms where you’re practically climbing over your luggage, having a real living space feels almost indulgent. The kitchens are well-equipped too, not just those token mini-fridges and microwaves you usually get. If you’re staying for more than a couple of nights, being able to grab groceries and cook breakfast (or a late-night snack) makes such a difference to both your comfort and your wallet.

What Sets It Apart

The repeat guest thing really isn’t just marketing speak — you can actually feel it when you’re there. Staff know the quirks of the building, they’ll remember if you mentioned you’re an early riser and need extra coffee pods, that sort of thing. The recent guest rating of 8.9 for location speaks volumes, especially when you consider how picky Perth visitors can be about where they stay. It’s also worth noting that this place consistently gets high marks across the board, sitting at an 8.4 overall rating, which in my experience means they’re doing the fundamentals really well without any major weak spots.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, it comes down to space, location, and that apartment-style freedom without sacrificing hotel services. You get the independence of having your own place — complete with a proper kitchen and living area — but with housekeeping and front desk support when you need it. The West Perth location hits that sweet spot of being close to everything while still feeling residential and peaceful. And that free parking? In a city where parking fees can easily add $30-40 per day to your accommodation costs, it’s a genuine money-saver that guests clearly appreciate enough to keep coming back.
